07 Tibet/Transcendental 1/4 Lb

£12.00

ODD LOT, which means it's First Quality Glass, just an odd shape -
variable thickness rods, some slightly curved. Nothing to stop you using
it, which makes this a great deal!

TAG-104-07 Tibet/Transcendental. Just like the classic reactive amber/purple boro, now in 104 soft glass! A transparent version of Dalai Lama, this amber/purple glass strikes easily in a neutral flame, producing electric greens over black, or electric blues and purples alone. Tibet can go pinkish over ivory glass or other light colors. Solo, struck Tibet looks reddish when held to the light. Best results come from striking in a neutral to oxidizing flame. This glass can also be reduced for a different look. Try it on Moretti copper green! Tibet does not generally require deep heating, just light striking. Transcendental is a darker version of Tibet; it can have a skin that is translucent, or even opaque. It also strikes easily and does not require deep heat – however, Transcendental can become cloudy with long hot working. It can be cleaned up a bit with cooling the bead, then burning off the silver haze in a strong oxygen flame. While both work in a similar manner and give similar results, you may want one or the other specifically - just make a note on your order. Otherwise, we’ll send you what we have!
